Has anyone tried a musical potty?

I was wondering about this one. It looks good.

Has anyone used a musical potty and did it make potty training easier?
Thanks x

We have a musical potty, and on day 1 yup it made the celebrations all the more joyful lol but now he isnt really interested in the music aspect and we are only 3 days in

I was considering it too! Will watch this topic closely.

I bough one and then decided not to put the batteries in. I didn't want ds to sit there for ages trying to piddle when he wasn't really feeling like it just to hear the music. I also know him well enough to know that he would end up filling tubs of water and putting them in. However the one I bought is a potty seat with removable seat for the big toilet and a lid that closes to turn it into a step. He loved that and also the duck on the inside of the lid and the duck feet on the bottom, so I don't feel it was a waste.

That's the one we had. Started off great then she took an aversion to it and even the singing terrified her. maybe there's such thing as too much fuss!

It does convert to a toilet seat too though

Lol, yes, the seat section lifts off and sits on top of your toilet seat. I still love the whole thing even without the music - now that he's been nappy free for a good long time I'm tempted to put batteries in for the novelty value.

My niece had the musical one and it totally put her off. Too much of a distraction I think. I've just bought a very plain average potty and a toilet seat attachment. X

I found the musical aspect useful earlier - I was washing dishes and heard it go off - George had taken himself off to the potty and sorted himself out

Downside is - the stupid music goes off randomly too and when pressure is exerted on the lid, like when he steps on it (its a stepping stool thing too) or just sits on the lid to read

I may turn the music off myself - but size wise George is very keen and happy to use this potty as its bigger and sturdier than regular potties.

A friend of mine has a similar potty! She swears by it!

I just used a regular 97p potty from asda and bought the matching toilet seat for the same price

All 3 of mine went from using the potty in the living room to the toilet with seat on on a matter of days, I couldn't justify the cost of something like that for such minimal use
